...York City's financial problems," he said, "is being left on the front doorstep of the federal government--unwanted and abandoned by its real parents." Ron Nessen had used the same kind of metaphor a little earlier, when he called the city "a wayward daughter hooked on heroin...
...wrote in Six Crises: "The covert training of Cuban exiles by the CIA was due in substantial part, at least, to my efforts."
